Follow my #Jamuary2023 posts on YouTube - loads of #plaits inspiration, incl "Seven Plaits Spinning" patch

After falling in love with the new Plaits firmware 1.2 - I was inspired to try Plaits modules as my only sound source - given it could do full-on percussion, bass, voices - so, I acquired a few more... SEVEN to be exact. 

I created some patches and songs using 7 #Plaits modules - original #mutableinstruments - although the firmware works on real Plaits Clones/DIY modules too.

This one I call "Motoring" - and the video contains full patch notes to describe how I made all the voices work.
